Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission said “all is set for the conduct of today’s local government election across the 20 councils.”
Chairman of OGSIEC, Mr Babatunde Osibodu, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abeokuta, the state capital, yesterday.
Osibodu urged the “electorate to go out en-masse to perform their civic responsibilities.”
He noted that “electoral materials have already been transported to the appropriate local governments for effective distribution.”
A visit to the commission’s office in Abeokuta revealed that transport operators and security agents needed for the distribution of sensitive materials were already on ground.
Electoral officers from local governments were also seen at the commission’s office ready to collect the materials for a smooth exercise today.
NAN reports that OGSIEC had earlier solicited the support of stakeholders including the media at a parley where it reiterated determination to conduct a credible election.
